Ready to take the next step in your lending career and build strong, long-term customer relationships?

We’re looking for a Home Ownership Manager to join our Riccarton Advice Centre in Christchurch.

You’ll combine your lending expertise with genuine relationship building, identifying opportunities and helping customers achieve their home ownership goals.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced home lender looking for a new challenge, or an internal candidate ready to take the next step and build their career in home lending.

• Delivering strong, sustainable customer outcomes while effectively managing lending risk

What you’ll bring | Ō pūkenga

You’ll be passionate about helping customers achieve their home ownership goals and confident having meaningful conversations about lending.

For experienced candidates, you may already be managing home lending customers in a banking, retail lending or broker environment. For internal candidates, you may be ready to build on your existing customer and lending capability and step into greater ownership of customer relationships and lending outcomes.

We’re Looking For Someone Who Brings

• Strong home lending knowledge and experience, or demonstrated lending capability with the potential to step into a Home Ownership Manager role
• An understanding of lending products and responsible lending requirements
• Confidence building relationships and having needs-based customer conversations
• Sound judgement and the ability to provide appropriate, tailored solutions
• A proactive approach to identifying opportunities and growing a customer portfolio
• A genuine commitment to delivering great customer outcomes
